British upper house election, 1841

The British upper house election, 1841 was held on 1 January 1841, when new peers were elected to the British Hosue of Lords. As in the previous year's elections, the Conservative Party lost seats to the reactionary Tory Party and the liberal Whigs, but the seat gains and losses by both sides were incredibly minor. For the first time, the Tories actually had the largest seat gain of any party in British politics, having a .5% lead in seats gained over the Whigs.
